The they missed out on one major advantage of FPV drones. The targets usually can’t hear them. They are often up 150m+ or more above the target. Far enough up that they can’t be easily heard. So they can linger and line up the perfect shot.

So are these the ones that caused a boom that could be heard 30km away. Not that they made it to the the target. They cause the boom after the Russians shot them down and the debris fell directly onto the target

I find that a string of swear words works wonders for many sites when they want to be all picky. Add in a random symbol/number and presto a “Secure” password.

Unlike slat armor, the entire defense relies on one single target point on each side. Ukrainian drone operators are going to bullseye it and then immediately start going for the unprotected bits.

Started out with it in XP.

There is two things going on there.

First if you look closely you can see holes in the spud. This is insect damage, likely caused by a wireworm (larval form of a clickbeetle species.)

Second is a physiological damage in storage/shipping causing the black color. This is not blight or another fungus, but the tubers reaction to suboptimal storage condition (not enough O2).

Further explanation:

Mongoose are snake predators and have developed resistance to cobra venoms native to their home range. Most of the time they avoid any bites with relfexes and speed but they do get hit.

Although Australian poisonous snakes are of the cobra family, they have different venom complexes to those in India etc. Their immunity developed over millennia of evolution doesn’t work. So the introduced mongooses ended up as a dinner for the snakes.

Sadly the key to avoiding becoming a victim of these tactics is to spend a significant portion of your time shopping around for everything. No retailer can be trusted. I preferentially order stuff from manufacturers webpages or compare multiple distributors before I buy anything.

I also utilize VPN services and a secondary browser if I think they are playing games. You can avoid this shit but it’s not easy.

I also try to completely avoid known companies who’s business model relies on these tactics.

Overall, on the Pokrovsk axis, the enemy is losing about 6,000 personnel per month.

The loss ratio is in our favor. The ratio of losses is roughly one to six.

In our case, the casualty ratio is about one to five.

Okay if I am reading this right, Russia is averaging 2600 deaths and 3400 wounded per month.

In the same area Ukraine is averaging 240 deaths and 960 wounded.

That is some savage ratios.

It will be an extremely weak and embarrassing punch. The likes of which will cause generations to laugh at your pathetic attempt recorded on video.

Termites don’t tolerate the snow. Below 25F(-4C) they die quickly. In areas with a month or two of freezing temps they don’t survive.

That being said with global warming they are steadily moving further north and south latitudes.

He just took a sledgehammer to the last remaining positive revenue generating sector in U.S. agriculture.

The U.S. agricultural sector is entering a depression the likes of which hasn’t been seen since the 1930’s. Every major sector is taking a beating. Across the entire country farm bankruptcies have started to climb. A bumper crop in many locations is the only reason that more farmers didn’t go under already. In my opinion, it’s barely the tip of an iceberg, this year is going to be very, very bad.

The vast majority of those going bankrupt, voted for it.

When it comes to the propaganda war, this is a master level move.

Russia has been hyping up the Oreshnik as a nuclear capable missile that can not be easily destroyed by anti-air. Its been a cornerstone of their nuclear propaganda to put fear into Ukraines allies. Its reportedly mostly an old Soviet era missile with a few new parts.

Ukraine created the flamingo as a long distance cruise/drone missiles to strike deep into Russia. This was in response to Its allies refusing to give them long distance capabilities due to fear of nuclear reprisals. Its had a lot of skeptics doubting it could get through Russia Anti-air defense and make any significant impact in the war.

So Ukraine goes and proves the effectiveness of the Flamingo by wrecking the main facility for the Russian Oreshnik program.

Russia will reward those that complain about the food with a transfer to an assault brigade.

The life expectancy for Russian assault troops is something like 20 days. No more worries about starvation.

At least they are somewhat honest with their logos.

Be better to ban loans on financial assets. These are loans against stocks/bonds etc that they commonly use. In order to get a loan it has to be against a physical asset. Also set firm limits to how much any physical asset can be leveraged.

Those look some of the extremely common 4-5mm hardened steel bearings. All of them in that grenade are likely less than 1 euro. Looks like they are embedded in resin. The resin likely cost as much.

Windows 11 UI is a downgrade from XP.

Windows 11 is also deeply unstable. I haven’t had this many program crashes, errors, and other bullshit since Vista and ME. Windows 10 had it’s annoying quirks but it was at least relatively stable.

I have saved myself the headaches with UI changes since the Win8 clusterfuck when installed a 3rd party taskbar/menu.
